An experienced journalist, in the newsroom and the classroom, has joined The Barnstable Patriot as associate editor.

Susan Vaughn, most recently a reporter for The Register covering Barnstable and Yarmouth, began work at the Patriot this week.

Over the last two decades, Vaughn has been a reporter, copy editor and editor for newspapers in Massachusetts and Connecticut. She holds a master’s degree from the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University and has taught in New York and Virginia.

“I have covered any number of stories with Susan,” said Patriot Editor Ed Maroney, “and had a chance to observe her thoroughness, intelligence and fairness. I have seen her ask the extra question needed to clarify an issue for her readers.”

“I am very pleased to be doing what I love best,” Vaughn said, “covering local news at one of the best historic newspapers on Cape Cod in the diverse town of Barnstable.”

Vaughn has a special interest in historical matters, having served as a docent for the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth.
